08.24RICE Rally 2008
We had a killer time last night at RICE Rally 2008! The music was great. We played the largest ever game of King Caractacus. Sam Mak and Steve Chong did a great job MCing. Mark Driscoll preached a cracker sermon on Jesus’ death and resurrection. 500+ teenagers claimed to put their trust in Jesus!! Check out our view of the 4000 teenagers gathered at The Sydney Entertainment Centre.
RICE is an incredible event and movement that has grown exponentially since its inception in 2002. One of the keys to the growth has been the involvement of so many leaders at the grass roots level. Praise God for the way he continues to work through this movement.
Are you serious? 500 people put their trust in Jesus?
Praise God!!!!!!!
Just how big was this game of King Caractacus?

“Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Celebrate the life those youth have found… There is a party going in heaven!

August 26th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
wow that’s awesome.
are you part of a youth group?
August 26th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
Ironically, Mark rated his RICE sermon as a 3 out of 5. Imagine if he’d preached a “5″!
August 27th, 2008 at 11:45 am
Yeah…I heard that he did really well at his “Burn Your Plastic Jesus” event on the Wednesday, that is, yesterday. He gave a good sermon and made a lot of good jokes. The attendance was about 10,000+ I heard.

Divine - I was at BYPJ, it was excellent. You can download a track of his talk at http://shop.kcc.org.au/cubecart/ and you can order a DVD too which I think I might do.
